variables vcnt, ocnt, and mcnt adding previous values and not resetting to 0

[archanut]

In def DoIt(h5): I am resetting the variables vcnt, ocnt, and mcnt to 0 but when it runs for h4 in hVP: the variables return to their state the last time def count(h4): was triggered by for h4 in hVP:. I want vcnt, ocnt, and mcnt to be 0 every time the for h4 in hVP: loop starts. Help please.



I am checking the state of the variable at this point it the below script

vs.SetRField(h5,'Obj Count','Obj Count',vs.Num2Str(0,ocnt))
vs.AlrtDialog(ocnt) #Displays current count but for somereason is adding the previous count to the current count
vcnt = ocnt = mcnt = 0 #reset to variable to 0
vs.AlrtDialog(ocnt) #displays that variable has been reset to 0

import vs
reset = xP = yP = vcnt = ocnt = mcnt = 0

def count(h4):
	global vcnt, ocnt, mcnt
	ocnt += 1
	if vs.GetTypeN(h4) == 5:
		vcnt += vs.GetVertNum(h4)
	if vs.GetTypeN(h4) == 21:
		vcnt += vs.GetVertNum(h4)
	if vs.GetTypeN(h4) == 40:
		mcnt += 1			

def DoIt(h5):
	global reset,xP,yP, vcnt, ocnt, mcnt
	if h5 != []:
		if vs.GetTypeN(h5) == 16:
			GetHandles(h5)
			for h4 in hVP:
				count(h4)
			vs.SetRecord(h5,'Obj Count')
			vs.SetRField(h5,'Obj Count','Obj Count',vs.Num2Str(0,ocnt))
			vs.AlrtDialog(ocnt) #Displays current count but for somereason is adding the previous count to the current count
			vcnt = ocnt = mcnt = 0 #reset to variable to 0
			vs.AlrtDialog(ocnt) #displays that variable has been reset to 0
			vs.SetRField(h5,'Obj Count','Vertex Count',vs.Num2Str(0,vcnt))
			vs.SetRField(h5,'Obj Count','Mesh Count',vs.Num2Str(0,mcnt))
			vs.Symbol(vs.GetSDName(h5),xP,yP,0)
			xP += 300
			if xP > 5000:
				xP = 0
				yP += 300

def GetHandles2(h1):	
	while h1 != []:
		hSEL.append(h1)
		if vs.GetTypeN(h1) == 92:
			h2 = vs.FInGroup(h1)
			while h2 != []:
				hSEL.append(h2)
				h2 = vs.NextObj(h2)
		h1 = vs.NextObj(h1)

def GetHandles(h5):	
	h2=vs.FInSymDef(h5)
	while h2 != []:
		hVP.append(h2)
		itParent = vs.GetTypeN(h2)  # Get Parent type
		if itParent == 11:
			h3 = vs.FInGroup(h2)
			while h3 != []:
				hVP.append(h3)
				h3 = vs.NextObj(h3)
		h2 = vs.NextObj(h2)

if vs.GetObject('Obj Count') == []:
	vs.NewField('Obj Count', 'Obj Count', '0', 4, 0)
	vs.NewField('Obj Count', 'Vertex Count', '0', 4, 0)
	vs.NewField('Obj Count', 'Mesh Count', '0', 4, 0)


hVP = []
hSEL = []
GetHandles2(vs.FSymDef())
for h5 in hSEL:
	if vs.GetTypeN(h5) == 16:
		DoIt(h5)
